MAMA MIA !!!!

Last night me and my sister-in-laws, and Mom went out for a girls night out!! Yeah, we wanted to take Chritsy out before she has her new baby. So we went to Magelby's for dinner then saw Mama Mia, it was so much fun to visit and hang out with just the girls NO KIDS, NO HUSBANDS we had a blast. Thanks to all the guys who stayed home to watch kids. I was totally bummed that I forgot my camera.....but it went to good use at home. SO....when I got home all was well the kids were bathed and in bed house was clean and Calvin was waiting for me. WOW!!! I was shocked. But, it gets better he pulled out the camera to show me this..........
Yes, that is my little Addison's head. She got a pretty good cut on the top of her head. They were playing at the farm trying to catch the kittens and she bent down to grab a kitten under something and when she stood up hit her head. No tears nothing she keep playing until Saige saw the BLOOD and lots of it, she began to panic (Saige). Addsion had no clue she was bleeding. Well they managed to get home and clean her up, and all was well, she wanted to go back and catch that dang kitten.
This is her being a big girl and getting cleaned up. No stitches thank goodness. However if it was somewhere visible I would have taken her for stitches, just because of the scar. Calvin handled it great, I had no idea this had happened until I got home, he didn't want to ruin my night out!!

Brooke and her boys came she stopped and picked up Sinclair and Bridger, Jen and her kids, and Grandma Pam came also. We saw Grandma Karen too she was at a booth there. So we had a crew of us and lots of FUN.

Fairview!!

So for Labor Day we headed up to Fairview to go camping. We parked at my Uncle Craig's property which is so nice, we love going up there, someone is always there to play with. We did a lot of visiting and letting the kids play, some 4-wheeling and relaxing. We had a great time, Monday it was raining and foggy, however we had fun staying cozy in the trailer, playing games and watching movies.



This is a picture the first morning we were there. Look how pretty.
A few pictures of 4-wheeling, my girls think Uncle Zach is awesome. They did'nt want to ride with us, but wanted to ride with Zach.
Look how dirty she is, Calvin and Zach thought it was so funny to watch her make such a mess in the dirt. We are CAMPING right!!

This is what it looked like on Monday, you can see why we stayed inside.

Little Angel!!

This is what happens when you tell my LITTLE ANGEL "NO" . She was playing so cute, look at her loot and shoes, such a GIRL. But then the breakdown accrued she found out that her Dad and sisters were leaving her, and going to the farm.
RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT TANTRUM!!
First smiling so cute, then drop everything start screaming, next lay down and kick your legs, then get up and throw a shoe at mom, finally pick up your things and continue playing.


Now that is total GIRL, she really is a sweetheart I just had to show how fast attitudes can change around here.

FARMING!!!

Most of you know that Calvin's dream is to be a FARMER. So when it is corn cutting time Calvin is always willing to help. Cutting corn consists of chopping down the corn and dumping it back at the farm (they feed the corn to the cows). It takes them a few weeks because there is so much of it but the Girls love it. Addison loves to ride in the BIG truck with her Daddy , but she wont go without her farming hat, a BEAUTIFUL green John Deere hat that is about 4 sizes too big, but she loves it.


Check out these awesome outfits, I am glad they are just FARMING!!

I just love this picture of Addie so I had to add it.

The Chopper! Dumping corn into the BIG truck.
Calvin and the girls plowing the field!! They could spend hours a day here, OH wait they do!!

Addison fell sound asleep on the floor of the tractor. I tried to take her home to rest but as soon as she saw we were in the car she wanted out and back to the farm. So..... she had her nap in the tractor that day.
Calvin is very willing to let the girls go and help him, he loves to have his little buddies along for the ride. We love the farm and just wish it was in the middle of somewhere that was not being overtakin by homes, but we will enjoy it while we can.

First day of KINDERGARTEN !!

Well we made it !! YEAH the first day of KINDERGARTEN is done and all the fears layed to rest. Saige was so excited and could hardly wait, which made it much easier on MOM. I can't believe that she is ready for this big step, her mom sure wasn't although I know she is more than ready.
The traditional picture on the porch.
She looks way too OLD!!
Okay, so because many of you are now wondering what school she is going too, I will answer that for you. It is a Charter School not for from our house. After many, and really I mean many hours of thought, questions, research etc.. me and Calvin decided that a charter school would be the best place for her. We mainly chose a charter school because it is more one-on-one and teacher to student ratio, plus they really seem to help kids excel in what they do best and reach their full potential. It has been a tough decision (for me) but after today I know it is the right one. I can't wait to see her progress through the year and make lots of new friends and most important HAVE FUN!!

Rough day at the office!!

Just a quick post of what I came downstairs to. She is sound asleep, she is still laying there as I type. I know if I move her she will wake up so I think she will stay there for awhile (i love naps). Why she fell asleep on Calvin's office floor who knows, but isn't she cute.
